I don’t even know where to start, binge-read this for 2 days and I loved it. This reminded me of Escape Into Oblivion and Chew & Swallow at first (these are some of my fav psychological BLs and imo they’re a lot more serious and darker) this one started pretty dark with Soohyun’s personal agenda and motivation for doing what he did while Eunsung was the broken and fragile one (being a victim of that dirty old man) and Soohyun would try to use that advantage to take Eunsung down with him. Spoiler; well that was the plan but that was just his inferiority complex talking and getting the best of him. Reading this halfway through witnessing their relationship development really surprised me bc I was expecting a really toxic and insufferable kind of relationship but honestly, they’re just the definition of a golden retriever and a black cat lol and I’ve concluded that Soohyun is just Eunsung’s biggest simp despite his twisted thoughts towards him at first. The character I enjoyed and relate to the most is Soohyun except I don’t have obsession tendencies towards real people (love him tho he’s so fine and charismatic idk he simps for Eunsung while I simp for him heh~) lmao anyways I love them (and my boy Shinhae). The side stories were fluff and I needed that after the angst. No story is perfect but this was a solid read.

The question is: who fell first and who fell harder?

    Im also reading this after the two you mentioned, that's so funny. They are a bit similar in style, at least at first. I love the way obsession was portrayed in this one, and you're so right soohyun is so fine - like they both are but DAMN. That said if you know any other comics with a mc like him pass it my way, maybe i like gloomy obsessive men (???). I may be inclined to say, barring obsession I think Eunsung "fell" harder, he was so adamant about making sure Soohyun was safe and literally off the bat said he's his type. Like something about it makes me feel like he really was feeling feelings.

    omg yess me too pls rec me some with this kind of vibe if u ever find one~ characters who are not necessarily portrayed as good or bad but morally grey with depth and complexity are my favs fr. good to hear im not the only one simping for Soohyun—that man might be messed up in the head sometimes but oh boy does he make crazy look good lol and i agree with Eunsung. they love each other in their own way ofc soohyun’s love for him is a lil twisted but if they met in different circumstances, eunsung’s love would be pure right off the bat!
